Yeah I purposely drove down that street lol. I was going to stop but I had 3 of my friends in the car. It probably would have been quite awkward to say the least anyway..

I'm going centercap hunting tommorow. First to Bucks, then Amigos and if I can't find them there I'll go to *shudders*... Affiliated. I hate those guys, always trying to rip people off!

If I don't find any locally I'll come to you Fila. I just really want some metal Cougar ones, but my hope is disappearing, much like my bank account!

Looks great. I was able to find Cougar center caps for my turbines fairly quickly using Ebay.

Did a wax and wash job today, and I got the centercaps on so I thought I'd post some pics:













And one of the powerhouse.
